HAPPY 100TH DAY OF SCHOOL! That's right, we've officially been in school for 100 days! The 100th day of school is a big day for lower elementary students. They enjoyed dressing like they were 100 years old, counting 100 objects, writing 100 words, and many other hands-on activities. But perhaps the highlight of the day is when Zero the Hero comes to visit! He sang a song with kindergarten students, handed out books and popped into a few other classrooms. He even took time to help the janitors do a little post-lunch cleaning :) We are so proud of all of our students who are officially 100 days smarter! #cardinalpride #HCScardinals

As our community mourns the loss of a Highland Community Schools alumni it’s safe to say Levi Linscheid left a lasting impression everywhere he went. As we browsed through yearbooks his contagious smile was always one of the first to pop off the pages. His involvement in athletics, clubs and organizations showed that he wasn’t just here because he had to be, he was a proud member because he chose to make the most out of every opportunity possible. There is no doubt in our mind that the legacy to “Live Like Levi” will have a positive impression on the youth in our community for years to come. #highlandthrowback #throwbackthursday

The list of accomplishments these three individuals have is extensive, but perhaps most impressive is how humble they were in accepting this honor. A common thread through each of their speeches was how much effort it took from their parents, teammates, and community members to help them achieve such athletic accomplishments. It was only through teamwork and dedication they are where they are today. Congrats, again, 2019 Hall of Fame Inductees! #cardinalpride #HCScardinals

Over the summer months the high school business lab underwent a complete remodel. The space, which used to be made up of built in work spaces, is now a multi-purpose classroom where students can gather and collaborate on various projects. The room still houses the same amount of technology, but the space is organized in a much more inviting, business like matter. This isn't the only high school flexible seating classroom this year. Ms. Weber, Spanish and AP English, teacher also transformed her classroom into a non-traditional, deskless learning space. We're excited to see how these learning environments benefit our high school level students. If you didn't make it in to the open house, we encourage you to stop by to see our innovative new learning spaces! #cardinalpride #HSCcardinals
